How often does the bottom 6 (D,D,D,D, K,W/R) on your fantasy list outscore the top 6 (Q,WR,WR,RB,RB,TE). Sometimes my QB outscores my bottom 6 LOL.

This week my bottom 1/2 out scored my top 1/2 79-50. It didn't help that my bye QB got hurt in the 2nd quarter and my RB who was supposed to play didn't. But on top of that my 2 top WR (Marshall and Evans) only got 3 and 6 pts respectively)

On the plus side my I got 43 pts from my 4 D's and my W/R got 25.

I think I may have been in the same boat here ... Though actually not, but I did score like 50 points from my defense/kicker.

That's an outstanding week from the bottom five, Snoop. (W/R doesn't count since that could be a legit RB1 or WR1.)

[snoopy369]

Indeed. I was sure I'd be screwed due to the performance of SJ and Trent Edwards, but the latter did well enough and the former ... didn't seem to matter.

L1, is another story ... waffled on schaub/mcnabb and decided to go with the hot hand. BIG mistake. Sigh.

Well if that's the standard I got 51.50 out my DDDD/K group this week. The reason I brought up the other postition (W/R) is because I consider my bottom 6 to be my 6 lowest scoring positions even though one of them is a WR/RB.

I guess the only reason I really brought it up is that I might win with my bottom 6 outscoring my top 6. That's what makes it incredibly unusual.

Unusual, but not unheard of. I think of a typical scoring spread as something (very roughly) like this:

QB = 40
RB-RB-WR-WR-W/R-TE = 60
K-D-D-D-D = 40

Generally, 140 gives you a decent shot to win. Typically, the offensive skill positions are the most likely tend to outperform this metric, while the Def/K tend toward a narrower variance (essentially because TDs are unusual for them).

So yes, winning with kicking and defense is unusual.

BTW, I use the W/R slot for any player I may have to replace due to injury concerns (game day decision etc), regardless of whether they are my RB1/WR1/whatever. It gives me maximum flexibility to slot in the next best guy if they are listed as inactive.

This had to the closest week of my life. I won by 0.46 points. Good thing my kicker assisted on a tackle.

BTW, a reminder to all --

THURSDAY NIGHT GAMES START THIS WEEK AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE SEASON!!

If you've got players in the Thursday game you want to use (Denver-Cleveland this week), they must be slotted in your lineup before game time.

Word.

Aww crap. I just realized who you beat.

[Deity Dude]

I got 2 players tonight (Marshall and Royal) against my opponents 0. I hate that situation because no matter what they do, unless it's off the board, I always worry it isn't enough.

[SlowwHand]

Same amount of players. When they play doesn't matter.

[Deity Dude]

Thanks for the insight.

[SlowwHand]

Anything to help a friend.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Good lord what a horrible year for me.

Romo and Cutler both injured. I had to start J. Russell, and he got a whopping -4 pts. (I would have been better off starting ROMO. :mad!:

[SlowwHand]

Cutler had a good game tonight. Very good game.
